Etymology

[edit]

Unknown. Possibly a Dacian substratum word, akin to Albanian urdhë, or more likely derived/borrowed from it. Other theories include Turkish hurde (yeast) (as several shepherding-related terms derive from Turkish), or a Thracian term *urida, akin to Ancient Greek ὀρός (orós, whey). The word is also found in Aromanian as urdã and Megleno-Romanian as urdă.[1]
